    Summary

    Arthur has always taken Merlin on every mission — unarmoured, untrained, endlessly reckless.

    It never used to matter.

    But lately, every danger feels sharper. Every close call lasts too long.

    And Merlin is starting to notice the way Arthur hovers… and how the prince’s worry is beginning to look a lot like something else.

    A slow-burn story about devotion disguised as duty, love revealed through quiet choices, and the people who become home when the world turns dangerous.

    Love wins — even when it has to fight for it.

    Written with a companion playlist (linked in the notes) :)

    Summary


    Dean Winchester hated hospitals, but in June of 1976 he found himself in the waiting room of San Francisco General waiting for Bobby to be discharged when a gurney rolls in and a man Dean has never seen frantically gives the name of the critical patient to the staff at the desk.

    “Castiel, Castiel Novak.”

    Dean spilled his coffee as he stood straight up stopping himself from running to the desk. This couldn’t be real.

    This wasn’t happening. He must have heard wrong.

    And with that Dean found he couldn't escape the pull of his past.

     

    **This is a Twist and Shout alternate ending (see below for where it starts - spoiler for T & S). If you haven't read Twist and Shout it makes more sense to read that first, although please make sure to heed the tags. If then, you return to this fic know that it is meant to start up after T & S chapter 7 and acts as an alternative to the rest of that artfully written but tragic fic.**

    Summary

    In the spring of 1944, the 104th Medical Battalion of the United States Army is disbanded, and its men reassigned to various infantry companies in preparation for their invasion of occupied France. For First Lieutenant Novak, this is less than helpful, as he has so far met his platoon’s designated medic a grand total of twice, and has both times found Sergeant Winchester to be the optimum combination of reckless, arrogant, and downright insufferable so as to make cohesive platoon function near impossible. When the time comes to move out, however, Castiel has to reconcile himself to the fact that men are going to go down and trust that Dean Winchester may well be the only person who can put them back together again.

    Summary

    FDNY Firefighter Dean Winchester has always felt like something is wrong with him. Like maybe he's supposed to be someone else, somewhere else. Or maybe he's not supposed to be here at all. After his mother died in a house fire when he was 4, Dean has spent his entire life raising his little brother, Sam, and trying to find himself while taking care of everyone else. Throughout his life, he's had a series of encounters he can't explain - including an inexplicable near-death experience in a warehouse fire on November 19, 2020 that leaves him struggling more than ever.

    Attorney Castiel Novak was adopted after being abandoned as a baby, and has always known he's different - and he's always had one mission: to save Dean Winchester. He just doesn't know why. But he knows one thing: he has a bond with Dean that can't be broken, and he'll do anything for Dean - even before they know each other. And, when they finally meet under the right circumstances, that bond becomes one where they can't stay away from each other, falling for each other in ways they don't understand.

    But Heaven and Hell are still waiting for Dean and Cas - and for the fate that they were supposed to suffer, that has somehow been completely erased.

    Summary

    A few beats of silence pass, almost to the extent of worrying Dean that he’s been caught eavesdropping.

    “Sam,” Castiel quietly starts, tone careful. “I’m not sure how to less boldly ask, but...is there any chance that Dean may have been avoiding short sleeves for other reasons?”.

    Okay, now Dean is ready to intervene. Like, ASAP.

    He plasters on a content grin and tries to pretend as if his very bones aren’t rattling from fear, marching in with an unexpectedly rough, “Mornin’,” as he makes his way into the kitchen—thoroughly interrupting Sam’s apprehensive, “What do you mean ‘other reasons’?”.

     

    (TLDR: Castiel gets saved from the empty and comes back to an extremely depressed/grieving Dean. Jack, Sam, Eileen, and Cas do their best to figure life out together, and Dean gets help. Heavy deancas centric + recovery process from alc withdrawal & sh)

    Dean is absolutely out of Charakter. Whiny and soft.
